Harbour House Hotel
Parking very safe under ground. Lift available to our 3rd floor. Room very clean and neat. Staff very friendly. Unfortunately we are only allowed to check in @ 15hoo which were bit inconvenient as we attend a 60brithday breakfast which were finished at 11hoo already. No room service menu.
